Born in Castellar del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Calm began his coaching career in the youth systems at UF Jábac i Terrassa and at Sabadell, he then made the leap to professional football as he was named as Martí Cifuentes' assistant coach at Rubí, Sant Andreu and Hospitalet respectively.
In the summer of 2016, Calm was named as the assistant manager at Cornellà; where he spent two years working under Jordi Roger, before taking over as manager on the 19 June 2018 with the side in Segunda División B.[1] On 10 June 2019 after just a single season in charge, Calm left Cornellá - which ended his three-year stay at the club.[2]

On 4 August 2020, he returned to Spain to become assistant coach at Atlético Baleares in Segunda Division B, forming part of Jordi Roger's coaching staff once again. On 9 March of the following year, Calm took over as manager of the first team, following the sacking of Jordi Roger.[5] He renewed his contract for a further year on 12 May 2021, after he won six of eight matches in charge during the previous campaign and earned the side a place in the newly formed Primera Federación.[6] However, on 28 February 2022, Calm was sacked after a run of three defeats in the last six league games.
